Our Best Answer: What is the smoking policy on campus?

Tobacco Free Policy

We ask all members of the college community to respect each other's rights, especially in regards to smoking. In accordance with NYC regulations, smoking is allowed 50 feet or more from the entrances to the college buildings.  

CUNY is the largest smoke-free university system in the United States. The following are prohibited at The City University of New York:

(i) the use of tobacco on all grounds and facilities under CUNY jurisdiction, including indoor locations and outdoor locations such as playing fields; entrances and exits to buildings; and parking lots;

(ii) tobacco industry promotions, advertising, marketing, and distribution of marketing materials on campus properties; and

(iii) tobacco industry sponsorship of athletic events and athletes.
